Veer right: From the intersection, this walk follows the GNW arrow post uphill
[148] along the wide management trail, following the power lines for about 100m before veering left to follow another GNW arrow post
[149] along a narrow track.
The track leads into the bush among gymea lilies
[150] (Doryanthes excelsa) and eucalypts
[152] for almost 300m, crossing a couple of short flat timber bridges
[153] to then head along a few sections of timber board walk through a weedy section
[154] of bush. The track then continues gently downhill for another 150m to cross over a trail
[155]. Following the GNW arrow post, this track now begins to lead more steeply down for about 250m, passing through another large grove of gymea lilies
[156], a small cave
[157] (on your left). The walk continues down the timber then stone steps
[158] to head into the dense moist forest and across a flat timber bridge
[159], coming into view of the creek
[160]. Here the walk bends right and leads beside the creek for a short time before bending left, following the GNW arrow post across the creek flowing over the mossy rock bed
[161]. Just downstream is a small pool and cascade
[162].
Here the walk starts to climb up the other side of the valley
[163], soon crossing a small flat timber bridge
[164]. The track then winds steeply
[165] out of the ferny and densely forested valley, up a series of timber and stone steps for about 130m where another GNW arrow post marks
[166] the end of this section of steep climbing. This track now leads gently up among some tall eucalypts
[167] and past a large grove of gymea lily
[168] for about 230m to come to a T-intersection
[169] with a wide management trail.
Veer right: From the intersection, this walk follows the GNW arrow post uphill
[170] along the wide sandy trail for about 40m to pass a faint trail
[171] (on your right). Then about 120m further up the main trail, this walk comes a T-intersection
[172] marked with a couple more GNW arrow posts.
Turn right: From the intersection, this walk follows the GNW arrow post
[173] gently uphill along the sandy trail
[174]. The trail soon leaves the wooded forest and after about 120m, this walk veers left at an intersection in a clearing
[175]. After another 120m, the walk heads past a large grassy clearing
[176] (on your right) with some tall pine trees
[177]. The sandy trail continues for another 150m, past a few scribbly gums
[178], and comes to a Y-intersection marked with a ‘The Great North Walk’ sign
[179] (pointing left).
Veer left: From the intersection, this walk follows the ‘The Great North Walk’ sign
[180] along the track, initially keeping the sandy trail to the right for a short distance. The track soon bends left, then winds over a small rise through the scribbly gum forest
[181] for about 400m before heading over a short section of green boardwalk
[182]. A short distance later, this walk crosses a green timber footbridge
[183] and comes to an intersection at the end of the dirt Robinson Road
[184].
